Sierra Leone – Focus Group Meeting

Participants attended well. I left the discussion going on very strong because all the people
that came had a strong background working with and for the local council in Sierra Leone. Apart from the two consultants, there was a lawyer who came from the Decentralization Secretariat who made significant contributions to especially the legal aspect of things. Ramit, who was working on Local Governance in Sierra Leone, said he was impressed with the arguments at several points of the discussion.

After completing the questionnaire, Mr. Mohamed Konneh, a consultant who has worked for NDI for many years and now works for the Carter Center, praised the questionnaire and said “it was a nice [a] discussion.”
